In the morning, I accidentally discovered an insect on the balcony upstairs. I had never seen this kind of insect before. It looked very ferocious, like a military general. I quickly ran to ask my grandma and mother, but they shook their heads and said, "I don't recognize it. I haven't seen it either." ”
I looked carefully and saw that it was about 5 centimeters long. Its whole body consisted of three parts: head, chest and abdomen. It was covered in reddish-brown armor and looked majestic.
It has a hard and beautiful big horn on its head, which is 3 centimeters long. The top of the horn bends back and divides into two forks. Tiny pliers. I think this must be a powerful weapon for it to protect itself and attack its enemies. It has a pair of round reddish-brown shiny eyes, like two pepper seeds.
It has a hard carapace on its back, and a seven to eight millimeter long pincer-like horn grows from the carapace. This horn bends forward, corresponding to the horn on the top of its head. Its abdomen is oval-shaped, and a pair of thin hind wings are hidden under the hard forewings. It has six thick and powerful legs, with many jagged spikes on the legs, which are very hard. There are three toes on each foot.
Its movements are very agile. As long as something touches its legs, it will quickly stretch out its legs to grab the object firmly, and it will be difficult to drop it even if it is shaken hard.
I really wanted to know what kind of insect it was, so I went online with my mother to find it. It is called the bifurcated rhinoceros beetle, also known as the one-horned fairy. It belongs to the order Rhinoptera of the order Coleoptera. It mainly sucks sap and rotten fruit. It is widely distributed in my country and can be found in Jiangsu, Anhui, Fujian, Jilin and other provinces. their figures.
Through today’s observation and study, I understand: there are secrets hidden around us. As long as we observe carefully and be thoughtful people in life, we can decipher these secrets and learn a lot of knowledge.
